WASHINGTON". K.b. 10.- Would
war with Germain knock the bottom j
our of our present unpara'teled pros
perity? Would war bankrupt the
I'nited States aa it is bankrupting
Europe?
I think not. War would cause the
greatest industrial and financial boom
this or any other country has ever ex
perienced. It would almost make u&
able to pave our streets with gold.
War would at once restore com
mercial confidence, promote the es
tablishment of new industries on a
gigantic scale, give everyone work at
the highest wages, bring untold
wealth to our farmers and miners and
make our colossal trade returns of
last year look like a corner grocer's
profits.
ltMr tViifiik'ure.
Our experience would be different
from that of the European belliger
ents. England, for instance, had to
iinance tho other allies, and at the
same time England is not a producing
and self-supporting nation. i
The first effect of war would be
to temporarily disturb confidence.
The stock, grain, cotton and other
markets, would suffer an immediate
slump. Then prices would rally and
continue strong until after peace was
declared. That is almost the invar
iable effect of war upon market con
ditions. But price fluctuations are
influenced by financial conditions,
and fortunately our financial strength
is now so great that we could af
ford to watch the market changes
with confident detachment.
Tho Immediate effect of govern
ment war munition orders would be
to stimulate the ntanu fact tiring in
dustries. Tho unification and center
ing of political thought would
strengthen financial confidence and
stimulate Investments. Such activi
ties would be cumulnflve.
Hunker fur World.
In England. Germany and France,
the business firms are all investing
their wartime profits, partly iu estab
lishing new Industries and partly In
subscribing to new government
loans. We would witness similar
actions here. But everything would
be done on a far sounder condi
tion than any of the present bellii?
erents were at tho beginning of the
war.
Our banks today hold $90n,Aon.OOO
more gold than thev did when the ar

our merchants have received from
abroad $2.2.'ui,iun,niio in securltii
of American origin and a similar
amount of securities of foieign origin
in payment for gneds and snippU'
purchased in America. In other word
our banking rerords show lh;:t we
